Alexandre Blais

He was a last minute injury substitution at the CHL Prospects game where the invited players are chosen by way of NHL GM lists of the players they want tom see at a higher competition level. This tells you that some feel he may be one of the top prospects from the QMJHL. Now in his third season in the Q, he still hasn't been able to hit 20 goals in a season or gotten his weight to 160 lbs. There is very little physicality to his game, and is easily ridden of the puck. Rarely engages in puck battles, because he will lose them. For his size, he is an average skater who doesn't have a breakaway gear. What he does possess is high end vision and instincts and soft hands that can feather saucer passes into traffic with both sides of his sick blade. He can draw coverage to him that extra second to make space for his intended receiver.
